I replied after being at work till pretty late. I looked down the first 10 or so and never saw anything referring to PAF and just typed what I typed. No crime committed. Its what 'you' do when somebodies comment is pinned...clearly. @@stringlocker
Tom you’re the master of the one way conversation, not many people could do that. You could have been a journalist or colour commentator, it feels natural and fluid, not forced and it leaves the viewer feeling engaged. Plus the music, gear, tone, comedy….. 👍🏽
Tom, i was legitimately just thinking the other day about how much i love this channel. It's a serious uplift and comfort to me in dark and dangerous times. ❤
Maybe I'm late to the party (the chanel), but I hope you'll get through it whatever it is. I lost a lot in my young life, but when I learned to be greatful and modest things made a big turn for the better and now the LIGHT follows me around.
The joy in Homeskoolin is a chance to get a glimpse into your mind Tom. I can't ask Patrick Mahomes what he was seeing at the line or Lebron what he is working on with his jumpshot, but you give us unfettered access into a world we all dream about, yet never really see. Thanks Tom - this channel is amazing.
Yeah this ⬆️. It’s nuts we now get guitar lessons, demos and insight from the best in the world (for free). Used to buy magazines, vhs concerts hoping for a blurb or a glimpse. Now we get a point of view perspective, weekly, checking out the fucking whizzer as you’re walking by it during rehearsal.
Hi Tom, not even sure where to begin. Don't stop talking to us. You are the kind of mentor/friend every musician needs. Its not just technique, licks, chops, its so much more....its a great human being who is a great musician just sharing his musical life with us. What is there not to love. And about offering your guitars, don't stop, we love seeing great old instruments, you have always been upfront about your guitar flipping. It may sound weird, but you have been such a bright spot out here in rural Oregon, and i love you for it. Enough, i could go on ad nauseam.
Tom, as the only channel on UA-cam I subscribe to, I think Homeskoolin is whatever you decide it’s going to be. I come back (again and again) for the music, wisdom, humour and (most importantly in our sometimes fkd world) the honesty …..which shines through in your music, wisdom and humour. Only change if you want to…..dealer’s choice.
Same here. About a year ago I was subscribed to 20+ channels, got burned out trying to keep up with all the videos posted, unsubscribed to all of them except my favorite, Little Tommy. 😊
Keep on rockin' and keep on talking! I love to listen to your stories, comments, opinions and lessons. I listen to them when I'm cooking or warming up to play.
Hey Tom, thanks for sharing all the knowledge and humor. This channel has been a blessing. Looked up some of your credits this morning and realised I've been listening to you every friday night when work ends and fun begins, for almost a year. The song is "Cold beer calling my name". Cheers and thanks again.
Talk away Tom!!! Every time you open your mouth you are imparting some beautiful nugget of of wisdom or insight! And...the entertainment value your channel offers is THROUGH THE ROOF!!!! Homeschoolin' is the absolute BEST thing on the interwebs! Keep up the awesome work!
Jesus man, your videos are pure gold. Your playing, stories, tips on guitar and life in general, are genuinely the best thing available to watch for anyone that loves the instrument. Thanks, Uncle Larry.
Hi Tom, thanks for all your pearls of wisdom. I have been contemplating the chops vs feeling thing for awhile now and the way you are able to articulate what it is to make music has definitely helped me in my musical journey. Listening to you is always enlightening.
Hey Tom, really appreciate the talking, insights, opinions, and perspectives that you share, so playing is great, talking is great too. Thanks for the videos!
This is probably my favorite Homeskoolin’ video of all time first seeing you play those triads on the top 3 strings with your 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers has given me something to work on. But 2nd, the content, knowledge and honest opinions were outstanding. Thanks Uncle Larry!!! 🤟😎🎸
Hey Tom, I appreciate your videos. I appreciate that your genuine and you just be you whether you talk or play. Your playing is beautiful and your stories of the biz and your opinons are great! Thanks! ✌🏼😎
This is the best freakin channel ever! I was howling when you told that guy to F off. I just started using in ears after 40 years, and I like them, especially now with the personal mixing board you can have on your phone.
This is great! Loved the full circle conversation about HW being an alien and following little to nothing from his past, to you saying guys who do all these chops, but have no feel. For me much of the influence and feel comes from the foundation, I came from studying the ones before me. Using that confidence to branch out. I am sure there are many ways to get to the bullseye. To me it is very interesting how you, and others approach this. This was a stellar video my friend and has really got me thinking. Thanks so much for what you do!
No you never talk to much and you never play enough for my ears! It’s all gold! So just keep on doing what feels right to you! And a Hugh thanks for it!👍🤗💝💕❤️🎸🙏✌️👋
I was lucky enough to stand 10 feet from Holdsworth and watch him play at the Baked Potato in LA. Unreal. And had a chance to talk with him after the show. Super nice guy.
You don’t talk to much Tom or play to much I’ve watched you from the beginning in the garage and with the x singing and loved every episode keep it up. I’ve learned a lot an appreciate it ! Don’t stop
Uncle Larry, my continued interest in HomeSkoolin' is as much about playing guitar as it is about Tom Bukovac. You are a very cool cat brother Tom, and through these videos i get to experience you. And oh some of the tales that are told...I think it's great, please keep doing just what you're doing man.
I just discovered this channel last night. I watched Uncle Larry and Dan discussing tone and loved the episode. I have been aware of Tom's playing for a few years, but so cool to discover he is such a down to earth guy. I feel like a found a new friend. Thanks Tom for making me feel like we are just hanging out as friends.
I understand more about playing guitar from your dialogues then just watching you play and trying to steal kung-fu/licks from you Tom. Thanks again for your time and effort big Unc' Larry
Hello Mr. B., Love your channel. Its great to hear you talk, you share your knowledge and stories. That is never a bad thing. Best thing is it sounds like you are first a great Dad. Its great when you show guitars and if its a good one you give people a chance to buy from you. That is priceless, who knows a diamond in the rough better than you, also you know all the places we never heard of or chance to go to, to find them. Keep sharing your stories or just random conversation ! Keep Rocking and being you! You talk to us in video's like you know us, thank you for that! Cheers from Canada, hope one day get a chance to meet you, even just to say Hi!
It's really cool to see how happy you obviously are that Marshall is having so much fun with the guitar, and also know how to navigate from stepping on it. I hope I can do the same should I be so blessed. I do love some Homeskoolin product!
Hey Tom, no you don’t talk too much in your videos. What I love about Homeskoolin’ is that it’s not just amazing playing and lessons but also a conversation. I enjoy your thoughts on this and that and the wisdom you share from countless hours of consuming, practicing, and playing music. This channel is by far the best thing on UA-cam. I look forward to each of your videos. All the best, Trina
Man you are like that dear close relative or friend we all wanted we had! The one who likes to chat about music, guitars and life forever. And now we have it!! These videos are gems and I could EASILY ditch all the other UA-cam subscriptions if I could only have one, wouldn't hesitate a second. I can't imagine how hard it is to keep motivated to talk alone to the camera but man we love it when you do. You are literally changing the world and making THOUSANDS of peoples lives better and easier every day. Somehow you have the ability to make people's burdens feel a little lighter with every video. Even when you think you actually have no burden at the moment. That's pretty amazing. This time (and every time) here in Finland, northern of Europe. Thank you for your humble work!
Lol. “I’m only one man” Dude, you’re a great hang. Love the playing, love the banter. Ask any of your friends. They secretly (or not so secretly) watch all of your videos all while they have coffee with you IRL. Keep ‘em comin.
I doubt anyone is going to find a more meaningful source of real world guitar playing information than 🤟the modest session man, Tom. One can learn more in one sentence from Tom than you might otherwise in a lifetime in regard to the pursuit of everything guitar - if one will only, listen. Certainly no one that I have ever seen enjoys playing and living everything music more. Home skoolin is a totally unique and genuine endeavor. All that said, the spontaneity of the channel is a great part of the overall charm of the channel. May it rock on and on ! 🍻💪🎸
I agree with you on so many things Tom, especially not wiggling and bending the guitar neck etc. Hahaha !!! Love these long conversations with us Uncle Larry !!! We are so blessed.
First thanks for doing what you do, as far as drummers go I can relate. A good drummer leads and is the backbone that I lock in with. They make everyone in the band better and actually bring out the best in everyone. It can be a long night if you have a drummer that follows you. Again thanks and ROCK ON!!!
Patent Applied For Tom. I'm sure somebody has already said that on this scribe. Great channel bro....thank you.
I can’t believe any of you guys thought I was serious
Me neither lol. Got me bro.@@501chorusecho
Why are you being an arse?@@stringlocker
And you'll probably keep on mentioning it because that's what an arse would do!@@stringlocker

Thank you bro
He's a story teller
@@hywel4605 and he’s the best guitar player on the planet.
Absolutely true !!!
Never thought of that before, but it's very true. One-man conversational shows are vanishingly rare.
I love the conversation. Don't change a thing. Just do whatever feels right at the time!
Absolutely agree to this. Play, talk, drink a beer, share a moment with a group of Nashville's finest, whatever. We love it all!!
Tom, i was legitimately just thinking the other day about how much i love this channel. It's a serious uplift and comfort to me in dark and dangerous times. ❤
That’s lovely to hear…thank you bro

@@501chorusecho❤your Skool loves the way you move us. In every way Tom
Hey! I live part of the time in rural Oregon, too
I like the talking more than the playing and that says something because the playing is so enjoyable to listen to.

Yet, another great video by the man. Thanks Tom.
Love these videos, love the playing, love the talking. Also love the guitars. Cheers!
I love the way you play and the knowledge you share, so I would say keep playing and saying whatever you want, because we're here for it man!
I NEVER get bored with your talking. Always interesting and knowledgeable about a lot of stuff. Keep the conversations going
Always a pleasure Tom! Thank you for what you do Sir!
Love and agree with everything you say in this video. Thank you.
Lost track for a while but I just wanna say that I truly enjoy EVERY episode of your Homeskoolin´ episodes!
Thank´s for inspiration!
Love the video link .. "The many shades of Uncle Larry" .. nicely done!
Buk I love listening to your stories and insights.
Love the channel and all the TALK! This is something to learn from ALs life’s knowledge…Home skooler since the Corona days…..see you around town!!!
Great storytime Uncle Larry!
Keep on rockin' and keep on talking! I love to listen to your stories, comments, opinions and lessons. I listen to them when I'm cooking or warming up to play.
My ears have been greatly improved listening to your original chords and lightning solos, thank you!
You bring me back to guitar every single time!
Your honesty and craft is inspiring.
Like a fine wine Uncle Larry, you are getting better with age! God Bless
All playing,...all talking, ...a mixture...all good! You rock. We love you, man.
Love the stories and insights as well as the playing.
Tom you are the man we love what you are doing!
Tom, I will never ever get bored watching your channel.

Hi Tom, thanks for all your pearls of wisdom. I have been contemplating the chops vs feeling thing for awhile now and the way you are able to articulate what it is to make music has definitely helped me in my musical journey. Listening to you is always enlightening.
Very nice! I loved watching you play again with the Jim Irsay band at the Farm Aid special, and especially playing with my girl, Ann again! 😘❤️
Dude--I could listen to you talk all day! Seriously. Love all the hot takes and shared wisdom!
Love the commentary just as much as the playing. You’re a naturally interesting cat.
Hey Tom, really appreciate the talking, insights, opinions, and perspectives that you share, so playing is great, talking is great too. Thanks for the videos!
I could listen to you all day, Tom! Keep up the great work.❤🎸
Always interesting, never boring. Thanks Uncle Larry.

Integrity is a wonderful thing. Thanks for the knowledge Uncle Larry.
Chops vs. Feel. Interesting observation. Keep shining Tom!!

I always enjoy your commentary beginning day one and continuing. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Thanks dude
One of the coolest things about your playing is the way you shake full chords. Love that.
Tom, love the stories and the talking. The only guitar based channel that I watch every video.
No you never talk to much and you never play enough for my ears! It’s all gold! So just keep on doing what feels right to you! And a Hugh thanks for it!👍🤗💝💕❤️🎸🙏✌️👋
Tom, I learn so much about the instrument itself, and many other things. Your channel is absolutely priceless for a luthier. Hats off, and thank you!
I love philosophical Tom.. I could literally listen to him pontificate on music for hours straight. Thanks Tommy!!
I was lucky enough to stand 10 feet from Holdsworth and watch him play at the Baked Potato in LA. Unreal. And had a chance to talk with him after the show. Super nice guy.
You don’t talk to much Tom or play to much I’ve watched you from the beginning in the garage and with the x singing and loved every episode keep it up. I’ve learned a lot an appreciate it ! Don’t stop

You are OUR ICON❤
AHHHH YES UNCA LARRY, EPISODE 93... A CLASSIC FOR YA,... PLAY ON MAN

I do love some Homeskoolin product!
I prefer it when you talk Larry! Wisdom is rarer! But of course i love your playing!!!
Cheers from Brazil uncle Larry 🙏🏻🍻
Your playing is so original it never gets old, and I've been listening since the beginning.

100% dude. Best guitar channel by a large margin.
Tom, I could listen to you talk for a long time. Your insight, knowledge, musicality and personality are priceless.
I like the talking. Its like a fireside chat about music, life, etc.
This show is the best… just off the cuff chillin with Tom and his friends
Thanks Tom. I loved & giggled your comments about Allan Holdsworth.

Thanks so much for this lesson!!!
i am lost without little tommy,s guidance. thank god we have uncle larry.
Your videos always inspire me to go pick up my guitar. Thank you!
How is it that everything Uncle Larry plays sounds like it could be on the soundtrack of Heavy Metal. Love it!!!
I love your talking Tom. You are imparting your years of wisdom and knowledge to us mere wanna bes
Loving that Blues Breaker tone!!
Nice shirt! Thanks for the Hermanos Gutierrez tip!
I watch them all. I really liked this one. For some reason it felt like "the old days (Corona Lessons)" Keep it up.
Larry, you do NOT talk too much. Your wisdom is priceless. I could listen to you chat all day.
Your comments on feel verses chops.. spot on!!
First thanks for doing what you do, as far as drummers go I can relate. A good drummer leads and is the backbone that I lock in with. They make everyone in the band better and actually bring out the best in everyone. It can be a long night if you have a drummer that follows you. Again thanks and ROCK ON!!!
I like the talking. It's like wisdom from Ol' Uncle Larry.
It legit warms my soul when you tell the haters to fuck off. Thank you.
We love it all Tommy. Talk as much as you want brotha.
Some of the best song writers are brilliant at using different bass notes. Sometimes it's subtle, other times it's beautifully glaring. Love it.
